Hello fellow crafters hope the week has been kind and you’re getting time to create some wonderful cards with inspiration from the team blog hops this week.
The colour being showcased this week is Cinnamon Cider, one of the 2020-22 In Colours family. I have created a simple U-fold card using the Blackberry Beauty DSP.
The card is 21cm x 15cm scored at 4.5cm, 5.25cm and then flipped over so that you score the same on the other side. I’ve used a bone folder to smooth down scored edges to enable the front panel sit upfront and the side panels open towards the back.
The front panel is made up of a Brushed Metallic card stock mat (9.5cm x 14cm) in soft gold and layered with Blackberry Beauty DSP )9cm x 13.5cm).
The sentiment from the Art Gallery photopolymer stamp set has been stamped with VersaMark onto Cinnamon Cider card stock and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I then added some Gilded Gems to the background.
The side panels are made up of Brushed Metallic card stock mat (4cm x 14cm) and another Blackberry Beauty DSP layer (3.5cm x 13.5cm) on top. I have added some foliage cut from the metallic card stock using Forever Flourishing Dies. The birds have been fussy cut from the DSP and adhered with dimensionals.
Front on the card stands up with the side panels opened to the back.
To fit the card in an envelope you can fold the side flaps to the back. This is what it looks like in the photo below.
For the back of the card I have used Very Vanilla in the centre panel and the same DSP for the side panels.
I quite like how this card turned out and having beautiful papers to work with helps! Hope you enjoy the remaining blog hop where you can find more inspiration from the next participant Di Furniss

Wow, Rosa - this card is a work of art! Those papers are just so glamorous, and you've used them to perfection.
ReplyDeleteRosa this incredible card looks like an elegant, hand carved and gold inlayed antique Chinese screen - it is so beautiful from every angle!
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing Rosa. I love the warm colours and the way all the bits and pieces of your fold card come together. It's so elegant.
ReplyDeleteWow, there is so much to see on this card. It's stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fold I've never seen before, but I love it! It's a great way to frame a central art panel, and you've chosen the perfect papers for each section. Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt was such a surprise to read that these were the Blackberry DSP, it is a lovely card you've created, and the fold just gives that little bit more.
ReplyDeleteWow, Rosa. What a great card. I love the fancy fold - I haven’t seen this one, but really want to try it out. Your use of the Blackberry Beauty DSP with the Brushed Metallic mounts and die cuts is stunning. Xxx
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely beautiful, thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious card, Rosa, those papers are stunning in this fancy fold card. It really shows off these papers perfectly. You've inspired me to get these papers out this week!
ReplyDeleteRosa your card is just gorgeous and the way you have used the DSP is just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteRosa, this is such a lovely card. If anyone says they don’t like Cinnamon Cider, they need to take a look at your card! Perfect colour balance, fabulous choice of DSP and a great fun-fold design. I love this.
